In these 9 steps

YOUR IPHONE WILL BE FASTER

If you've just bought a new phone, you'll be amazed at how fast that thing is. But the longer you use it, the slower it gets. That can be quite annoying, but you can do something about it. You have to be a bit strong, because a lot needs to be deleted, and I have some other tricks to make your phone fast again. Here they come:

Always update your phone when there is a new update. Easy.

With thousands of photos in your album, your phone gets slower, so upload a lot of photos to your computer and then delete them from your own mobile. Of course, keep the best ones on your phone.

Organize your apps; don't delete them, but close them. Double-click the “home button” and swipe all apps up to close them.

Clear your history from Safari or Chrome. You do this in Settings: Safari: clear history/cookies.

Yes, a difficult task, but delete your messages. You really don't have to delete them all, but if you scroll all the way down in your messages, you'll probably see a lot of people you don't chat or text with very often. They can go in the trash.

Also take a good look at all those apps you have; some of them can probably be deleted. The larger the app, the slower your phone becomes.

You could also turn off your location services. You do this in Settings as well.

I never turn my phone off, but sometimes it's necessary. Just turn it off and then back on. Reset it, so to speak.

Lastly: be nice to your iPhone.
